Professor Richard Dawkins is one of the most influential science writers and communicators of our generation. He was the first holder of the Charles Simonyi Chair of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford, a position he held from 1995 until 2008, and is Emeritus Fellow of New College, Oxford. His bestselling books include The Extended Phenotype (1982) and its sequel The Blind Watchmaker (1986), River Out of Eden (1995), Climbing Mount Improbable (1996), Unweaving the Rainbow (1998), A Devil's Chaplain (2004), The Ancestor's Tale (2004), and The God Delusion (2007).

The million copy international bestseller, critically acclaimed and translated into over 25 languages.
As influential today as when it was first published, The Selfish Gene has become a classic exposition of evolutionary thought. Professor Dawkins articulates a gene's eye view of evolution – a view giving centre stage to these persistent units of information, and in which organisms can be seen as vehicles for their replication. This imaginative, powerful, and stylistically brilliant work not only brought the insights of Neo-Darwinism to a wide audience, but galvanized the biology community, generating much debate and stimulating whole new areas of research. Forty years later, its insights remain as relevant today as on the day it was published.
This 40th anniversary edition includes a new epilogue from the author discussing the continuing relevance of these ideas in evolutionary biology today, as well as the original prefaces and foreword, and extracts from early reviews.
Oxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas, and shaped the way we think.
《自私的基因》是理查德•道金斯撰写的一本关于进化的书,1976年出版。这本书以乔治•C•威廉姆斯的著作《适应与自然选择》中提出的主要理论为基础。道金斯采用“自私的基因”这个说法,是为了表达以基因为中心的进化观,以区别于以生物个体和群体为关注点的进化观,这是...
评分驱动这个世界的不是贪婪,而是嫉妒。 --沃伦 巴菲特 这句话从资本主义的绝对代表嘴中说出,尤其令人回味。在穷查理宝典中有一段为何不应嫉妒他人的经典描述:“在乎别人赚钱速度比你快可以说是最要不得的原罪之一。嫉妒是愚蠢的,这几乎是唯一一种你得不到任何快乐的原罪...
评分自私不是人性的定语 《自私的基因》的作者说过这样一句话: “我打算在我的《自私的基因》一书之后补写第二卷,对人类作一些论述。而我发现《美德的起源》一书正与我想象的第二卷的内容一模一样。” —这句话是他对《美德的起源》这本书的推荐,而这本书正是说人类的合作本...
评分早在八年前,我就买了这本书,但它现在还躺在我的书架子上。无他,读起来太累,那时我比现在更加幼稚。 一年之前,饭后茶余,偶然和教授(物理系)谈起某些我们以为荒谬的社会学理论时,他认为那些谬误源于部分社会学家对他们研究对象——人类——的无知。那时他...
